Renovation planning
Fix the house in the right order.
New finishes over an unsolved moisture problem is money spent twice. Jacob helps you set priorities and sequence the work, then choose materials that suit the room and the climate.
Planning usually covers
- What to solve first: water, moisture, combustion safety
- Ventilation to plan whenever a house gets tighter
- Materials and adhesives with disclosed contents
- Lead-safe practices in homes built before 1978
- A realistic scope to take to contractors
The process
How it goes
- 01
Site visit
Jacob walks the house with you and asks how it's used, what bothers you and what's already been done. - 02
Priorities
A written order of work: envelope and water first, then mechanical and air, then materials and finishes. - 03
Material selection
Help comparing products on disclosure, emissions testing, durability and fit for the room. Criteria, not sponsorships. - 04
Scope and bids
A scope clear enough that contractor bids can be compared side by side. - 05
Checkpoints
Agreed moments to look at the work before it's covered up: framing, air sealing, ventilation, finishes.
